Obama takes veiled jab at Trump, says there are some politicians who could 'use some mediciation'

Former President Barack Obama appeared to be taking a veiled jab at President Trump when he was asked a question about mindfulness and meditation at a Saturday town hall event in Berlin, Germany, reports CNN.

“Well, I definitely think there are some politicians who could use some meditation,” Obama said, as the crowd erupted into laughter. “There’s no doubt about that.”

“I can think of a few, you know, ‘just sit there for a little bit and reflect. Find some inner peace,’” Obama added.

Obama and Trump have repeatedly taken jabs at each other in the past months.

Last month, Trump floated the idea that the Obama White House may have been behind special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

When speaking to reporters, he said that the plot against him “went very high up.”

“It started fairly low but with instructions from the high up. This should never happen to a president again,” Trump continued.
